If you have a blog with 100 visitors per month why would you worry about being hit by an 4-8 hours outage once every year or two? I like Cloudflare because it is easy to setup and manage and because the amount of value you get for free or just a few bucks per month can’t be matched by any other company. Sure, if my income depends on my website/service uptime then I would probably consider other options. I think for most folks that’s not the case. Just chill and wait it out.
- amatecha 11mo agoAdding Cloudflare to my site would actually cause more denial of service to legitimate users than it would if I never added CF. As someone using OpenBSD + Firefox with strict privacy settings and "resist fingerprinting", I am frequently blocked from sites because CF erroneously identifies my browser as suspicious (with no way for me to resolve this except use a different browser or computer). I'm not interested in blocking visitors because they use a different browser.

- dangus 11mo agoI swear these outages always have people forgetting how uptime works. Cloudflare went down for 5 hours this year. That’s 99.94% uptime. For real, who cares? Get a life and take a nice walk or something. Let the big enterprises worry about their backup plan.
